Christian Zeal.

ZEAL is an element of character of great power, and he is not to be despised who possesses it. Where it promotes a bad cause it is to be regretted, but the element is none the less important. Christians should be zealous. They should not allow the man of the world, in his efforts to accomplish some worldly object, to excel them in the manifestation of zeal to promote that which is true and worthy. “It is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing.” “The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.” The cause of Christ demands all the energy and power that we can command. It should pervade the faculties of the soul. It is the chief good as it respects ourselves and others.—Methodist Recorder.
